If you are thinking about starting a book club, first decide if you want to follow a book theme. Many groups will opt for a traditional book club where someone chooses a book and you get together to discuss it on an agreed upon date. A traditional book club is rewarding and lots of fun if set up correctly.
But for those of you who like the idea of a book club but want to get more specific - how about a book theme club? Let me give you some examples:
History Book Club - read historical books, preferably with roots in your area, and incorporate a historical field trip or lesson into the meeting.
Paperback Book Club - read paperbacks, go out "paperback acquisition trips," and complete with your own paperback swap!
Romance Book Club - for the truly romantic, this type of group can border on the horror genre with some of the vampire and paranormal choices out there!
Christian Book Club - there is an endless supply of fantastic Christian books on the market ranging from romance to enlightenment.
Baby Book Club - a chance to focus on issues specific to parenting, new moms, and even baby scrapbooking!
Once you make a decision, try to stick with it for at least one full round. If, after each member has hosted the meeting once, your group decides you don't like the theme, try a new one or switch to the traditional book club. More in depth ideas for book themes.
